Carlyle in talks to sell stake in MENA region Domino’s Pizza operator

Global private equity firm Carlyle is in talks with a consortium led by one of its senior executives, Firas Nasir, to sell its 42% stake in Alamar Foods. The firm operates 185 Domino’s Pizza and Wendy’s restaurants across 11 countries in the MENA region. Bloomberg reports that the private equity firm’s interest in divesting its stake follows its decision to not raise a second Middle East-focused fund.
